Summer always seems to fly by, doesn’t it? With the days getting shorter, my mind is already drifting towards cooler temperatures and the inevitable rainy season here in California. While winter storms have never been my favorite part of the year, this time, there’s something to look forward to. Galvin Green just dropped a new line of fully waterproof jackets and pants designed specifically for serious golfers. Now, braving the rain doesn’t seem so daunting—especially when you’re decked out in gear that’s not just stylish but built to keep you comfortable and dry.
Performance Meets Sustainability: The Power of Pertex® Shield Stretch Fabric
At the heart of this latest offering is the groundbreaking Pertex® Shield Stretch fabric. Imagine a jacket that feels as soft as your favorite pullover but offers robust waterproof and windproof protection. That’s precisely what Galvin Green has achieved with their new line. The fabric’s three-layer construction ensures it is highly breathable, allowing golfers to stay comfortable even in the most demanding conditions.
This fabric isn’t just about comfort; it’s about performance. The advanced hydrophilic polyurethane membrane quickly disperses surface water, meaning no more clinging fabric or waterlogged layers. This is a jacket you can rely on to keep you dry, without sacrificing style or flexibility – essential for perfecting that swing. Plus, being PFC-free and bluesign® approved, the material meets rigorous environmental standards, making it a smart choice for eco-conscious golfers who care about their carbon footprint.
Highlighting the Range: AMES and AMY Jackets
The standout pieces in this collection are the AMES jacket for men and the AMY jacket for women. These jackets have been crafted to deliver unparalleled freedom of movement thanks to the super stretchy Pertex® Shield Stretch fabric. Whether you’re reaching for a long drive or lining up a putt, these jackets move with you, not against you.
The AMES jacket is available in six striking colors, each designed to make a statement on the course. Thoughtful details like front pockets to keep hands dry, adjustable cuffs, and shaped sleeves ensure both comfort and practicality. Pairing the AMES jacket with the ALAN waterproof pant, available in multiple sizes and colors, creates the perfect head-to-toe rain gear solution for those cooler, wetter days.
Galvin Green’s commitment to variety is evident in their expanded DRYVR™ line, which now includes 21 garments for men, women, and juniors. This lineup features award-winning GORE-TEX options like the AMOS full-zip hooded jacket, now available in a sleek black, and the ultra-technical ALISTER, known for its superior weather resistance. These pieces cater to the most discerning golfers, ensuring that whether you’re on the fairway or the green, you’re prepared to face any weather conditions in style.
For golfers seeking versatility, the new LYNDON jacket in the men’s INTERFACE-1™ range is a must-see. It offers windproof and water-repellent protection, ideal for those unpredictable weather days. Meanwhile, the LEX short-sleeve jacket, with its eye-catching chest stripe motif, provides a stylish option that’s perfect for mild weather, keeping you dry without overheating.
From GORE-TEX to INSULA™ Layers
It’s wild to think that I’ve been rocking and raving about Galvin Green’s INSULA layers for a solid decade now. From hoodies and half-zips to vests, these are my go-to pieces for those crisp fall mornings. They manage to keep me warm without ever feeling bulky, and the breathable fabric ensures I stay comfortable even as the temperature—and my heart rate—rises during a round.
And just when I thought Galvin Green couldn’t outdo themselves, they’re dropping some serious heat for Fall 2024. Meet the new DOUGLAS half-zip INSULA™ sweater, designed with extra Thermore® padding across the chest and back for top-tier warmth during the chilliest rounds. This sweater comes in two eye-catching colors and pairs perfectly with the DONNIE hoodie, featuring a roomy front pocket that’s perfect for stashing a few extra tees or just keeping your hands cozy.
For those who like to keep their options open, the sporty DAVE half-zip is available in up to six different color combinations, including the sharp Alaskan Blue/Navy, a classic Navy/Red, and the sleek Black/Atlantis Green. Whether you’re layering up for a frosty morning or just want to look good on and off the course, these new pieces are a definite win.
Bringing Color and Style to Functionality
Galvin Green knows that style is just as important as functionality, and their new collection proves this. The vibrant Camelia Rose colorway in the women’s INTERFACE-1™ range adds a pop of color to any rainy day, while the Dopamine structure-inspired VENTIL8™ PLUS shirts bring a futuristic aesthetic to the fairway. The men’s MANNIX shirt, available in six distinctive colorways, offers a sleek, modern look that pairs well with the NOX jogger-style pant, a first for Galvin Green, blending cutting-edge design with practical stretch and breathability.
Stylish Protection for the Young Players
Even younger players are not left out of this new collection. The junior line sees exciting updates, such as new color options like Golf Green and Blue/Navy for the popular ROBERT GORE-TEX jacket. The new RICO INSULA™ hoodie and the DNA print ROCCO shirt in VENTIL8™ PLUS fabric are designed for young golfers who want to stay comfortable and dry while showcasing their sense of style on the course.
Commitment to Sustainability
One of the most impressive aspects of Galvin Green’s new collection is its commitment to sustainability. The use of PFC-free materials in their latest waterproof range is a testament to the brand’s dedication to eco-friendly practices. The bluesign® approved fabrics meet high environmental standards, ensuring that performance gear does not come at the expense of the planet. This commitment to sustainability makes Galvin Green a leader not only in golf fashion but also in responsible manufacturing.
